Could you make a scan of that catalog please? I love that picture.
On topic: Looks pretty nice. Wish we got packaging like that, instead of the steelbooks.

I saw Saint Seiya...now I'm jealous.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Zephyr wrote:And that's to say nothing of how pretty much impossible it is to capture what made the original run of the series so great. I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Why do their DVD covers look far better than the ones we have in US (especially the ones for GT)? Now I am jealous.

The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

Absolutely stunning.

Fuck you FUNi for giving U.S. fans shit covers, and shitty packaging(bricks)!
I'm seriously considering to move to another country, learn their language, and get great Dragon Ball merchandise.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

Sorry, my English is bad.
PD: screens vol 2:
I see that they like the boxes, but that opinion has of the quality of video?

To Spain, anime is serious business.
I remember when I go to vacation there, their children's cartoons are filled with anime.
And I love their Dragonball dub!
Good voices, and good script (at least from what I understand).
No puedo hablar tan bueno en Español, pero entiendo leer i aprender más.
Ah, los tiempos en España...sí...
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

That is soooo cool that they have a specific symbol for each arc in that booklet (especially the rarely used, and mostly only in Spain, Saiya-jin Royalty symbol for the Saiya-jin arc). And has anyone seen this symbol that they used for the Freeza Arc anywhere else? It's new to me, I think:

This is what we had in Spain before the editorial Selecta Vision anime:
VHS to DVD last.
Manga Films.

Yep.
Subtitles second Selecta Vision literally translated from Japanese.
Spanish dubbing is horrible. Invented names among many other things. They are much better Catalan and the Valenciano.
